Notes

Make Ahead

• You can make this in advance and freeze it. Just be sure when you place it in the freezer it has cooled before you do. To thaw place it in the fridge the night before and reheat in a pan over medium heat. 
• To make in an all in one cooker, sear at 300f, after the peas are added in turn to low and let simmer 8 hours or 4 hours on high.
